Oh yeah, so there I was, really close to being pissed off and what happens? I get pissed off, but not totally pissed off enough, so I get a reprimand from the HR Director who happened to be the one to do the something that pissed me off.
Let's start at the beginning.
I basically woke up on the wrong side of the bed, so to speak. That means, I get irritated easily. On the upside, I get amused easily as well, as I found out when I was in the jeepney on the way to the office. Behind the jeep was a car driven by a "matronly" woman who kept honking her horn. It was irritating and it kept reminding me that I was really close to being late to the office. Hah. Another ticker in the temper.
stupid arse
But there was this gay guy and his friend in the jeep who kept "insulting" the woman and I couldn't help but smile. Hey, they were funny, in a not so clean way.
So. Moving on. I was in the office. I was starting to feel unwell, still do actually, as I'm writing this. Then I get to see the other people with their company jackets and I'm wondering to myself, hey, where's mine? Didn't I get regularized before they did?
Apparently, it's not to be given to you, you have to get it from the HR. Figures.
Pantry. I saw the HR bunch having breakfast, I assume. I asked one of them where my jacket was and the other one and the HR director said something along the lines of, don't you already have one from the first batch? Why are you asking for another one?
I gotta tell you, that rubbed me the wrong way. With the way I was then and the way my mind was, I told them off. I said, If I already had one, where is it? I could have smiled so they could have taken it as a joke but I didn't coz I didn't want to. Then someone said that she thought I was being like one of the others who wanted to trick HR into giving them another jacket and I said, I am so not like him.
Then I left, with my hot chocolate and a headache.
Later, I was called to the HR Director's office and told off. She said she was offended (hey, so was I when you insinuated that I was like those who would trick you) so I said sorry.
Thought that was the end of it, but when my supervisor told me that she'd like to talk to me and that we were going to talk in the "aquarium," I knew that aside from whatever QA concerns she might have to raise, she was going to talk to me about what happened in the pantry. And I was right.
I think I ought to look for another job somewhere and in a different field. How about going back to school?
And she did. She said she had my back but that I had to be conscious of what I do and say since I was a QA now (hmm, wonder how long that'll last before she chucks me back to being an editor) and that I should be aware of how I treat the MTs and editors (I knew I should have followed that up! what the heck are they saying about me and who are saying it?!)
Yada yada
I don't think they take me too seriously here. I think I seriously need to consider getting a new job somewhere else.
